introduction
Welcome
Robert Battle
Artistic director, Alvin Ailey Dance Theater
Best piece of business advice: Being the top dog has its limits. “There’s a notion that when you reach a certain place you can do what you want, and that’s not true.”
Approach to mentorship:“The best teachers I ever had give you enough information, get out of your way and then allow you to walk into your own truth. The best kind of mentorship is when a person takes ownership of their quest for knowledge.”
What’s next: Ailey will perform in London and Tel Aviv in September and for five weeks at City Center starting soon after Thanksgiving.
